TURN BACK THE CLOCK TUESDAY is a feature where we look back at some of the great moments in Eastern Illinois University Athletic history. Relive other great moments here.

Sept. 15, 2007 - Sasha Sauffer's five-point try with 4:27 left in the game propelled West Chester (Penn.) to a 20-19 victory over Eastern Illinois, in the historic first-ever NCAA women's rugby contest. The large crowd of 1,237 at EIU's Lakeside Field witnessed an intense, hard-fought contest between two equally talented squads.  Shown in the picture is the opening scrum of the match. 

EIU's Molly Clutter scored two tries in the first half as EIU took a 12-5 halftime lead, following a try by WCU's Katy Black. After halftime, West Chester scored two consecutive five pointers off Black and Whitney Hartshorne to take a 15-12 lead.

That's when EIU's Samantha Manto scampered for a dramatic try to take a 19-15, following the two point conversion from Victoria Rosales. However, the Golden Rams (1-0) kept the pressure on and was able to take the lead as Sauffer jumped on the ball for the score following a scrum near the goal line.
